On-song St Albans Saints well and truly alive

St Albans Saints could not have asked for a better start to the 2019 National Premier League 2 west season.

They slaughtered Whittlesea Ranges 6-0 on the road at Epping Stadium on Saturday, with new recruits making significant contributions.

Saints coach Kruni Razov was pleasantly surprised after witnessing 90 minutes of ruthless football from his side.

“As a coach, you couldn’t ask for a better start,” he said. “It was fantastic.”

The rout began early when new recruit Adam Hodor put St Albans ahead in the 19th minute.

The Saints’ lead doubled just before half-time through captain Michael Grgic.

There was more domination in the second half, with new recruits Jordan Wilkes and Ayodeji Omoboye finding the back of the net for St Albans before substitute Joseph Monek came on to complete the job with a double.
